LET THERE BE LIGHT
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is the world’s most expensive scientific instrument ever launched into space. At $10 billion, this complex and powerful telescope will explore distant exoplanets and see near to the beginning of time itself. Before its planned launch later this month, Scott Pelley gets an inside look at NASA’s flagship space telescope. What mysteries will it help humanity unravel? And what could go wrong?

NEGOTIATING WITH THE TALIBAN
When the U.S. military pulled out of Afghanistan in August, the Taliban immediately seized control, and the international community acted quickly – freezing Afghan assets and foreign aid to pressure the Taliban to negotiate. To date, those negotiations haven’t happened. Today, 38 million Afghans find themselves facing one of the worst humanitarian crises on the planet. Sharyn Alfonsi traveled to Afghanistan to discuss the crisis with one of the new Taliban ministers, talk with suffering families and meet with the humanitarian groups who have been left to pick up the pieces and negotiate with the Taliban to avert a global catastrophe.
Ashley Velie is the producer.
AN ISLAND OFF AN ISLAND
Jon Wertheim ventures to a 90-square mile jewel of land off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Fogo Island’s population was decimated when its one and only industry, cod fishing, went into steep decline. Now, an eighth-generation Fogo Islander has returned home with deep pockets and a plan to bring the place and its people back.
Nathalie Sommer and Kaylee Tully are the producers.
